With tho slay ing of Jules Bonnet, "tho demon chauffeur" of the "phantom death car," and Dubois, tho world famed anarchist, by police and detectives here, tho reign of terror of tho no torious automobile bandits In and about Paris Is believed today to bo at an end. Tho outlaws, who had committed a series of daring crimes extending over a period of six months and In variably eluded the police, several times after hand-to-hand fights, wero run to earth In a small garage at Choisy Lerol, on the outskirts of Paris, where they wero killed after their lair had been wrecked by Jyn amlte. lO.OOO Watch Battle. Hundreds ot policemen and armed citizens surrounded the building, be ing repeatedly driven back by a fu sillade from a small window, white 10.000 persons watched from out side the danger zone. Finally a cart was rigged with protecting- mattress es and a venturesome officer applied two charges of dynamite to ono cor ner of the garage. When tho build ing was shattered In clouds of smoke the police rushed In over the wreck age. As they entered a man arose from the ruins of an automobile ton neau and fired. It was Dubois and he was riddled with bullets before any ot bis shots could take effect. Two mattresses moved sllghtl, and Bonnet raised to tire. He was shot down before he could pull the trigger and taken out alive and cursing. Most Feared of llamlitfl. The thousands who watched the fight rushed the police with cries: "Death to Bonnet," and attempted to tear tho bandit to pieces. He was struck several times before the po lice could rescue him. Bonnot died on tho way to the hospital. Bonnet was the most feared and hated of alt the bandits. He drove tho cars which the outlaws used In committing their crimes and tbolr frequent escapes were due to his skill and daring at the wheol. Wlillo tho dynamite cart was being drawn up to the garage tho great crowd remained so silent that be tween the scattered shots fired by tho bandits the click ot tho moving picture machines could bo plainly heard, us tho oporators calmly turned away, so as not to miss a slnglo featuro of tho drama of death being enacted boforo them. Tho operators woro on tho ground ns soon as tho detectives arrived by automobllo from Pnrls and secured films showing overy detail of tho battlo, dynamiting and capturo ot Bonnet allvo.
